Liberty forces broke through our lines the other day, it took us quite a while to reform and drive them back again. Unfortunately Marshall Station took quite a beating. While the station remains operational to some degree, the damage it took is extremely apparent. With more of us dying with every encounter and the one station supporting our rear now heavily damaged, it has become clearer than ever that we can't keep this up for very long anymore.

While I had initially considered reaching out to the Crayter Republic, the risk of them handing us over to Liberty is just too large to take. Ironic really, since as a result I've had to take a different, still very significant risk, instead. I sent out a communique to the Starfliers; a rag tag bunch of Freelancers who have earned themselves a reputation of doing odd jobs all throughout Sirus. It is my hope that they'll be able to use the contacts they've developed to arrange for some sort of safe haven for us to retreat to once staying in Vespucci is no longer an option.

I'm sure they'll ask for a pretty penny in return, if they even accept the job at all, but worst case scenario this mister Leon fellow might provide some insights into the other groups out there. Kind of wish I paid more attention to the plights and struggles of the rest of Sirius during my service instead of only focusing on fighting Liberty.

Captain Lucian Perez,
Signing off.
